A very special thanks to Andy Akard for checking up on me and for his concern.
That was a great course. I had to abandon at Boardtown, got violently sick. I'm not out of this yet. Will do the Raleigh 400K and 600K and *WILL* go to Paris.
Can't say how much I appreciated the work Mike and others put into this event. As I said the course was magnificent, and very challenging. Had hoped this would be the day I cracked the magic number and rode farther than 205 miles. Still planning to do so.
My sincerest congratulations to all who finished.
